Cryogenic DC Circuit Breaker Based on High‐Power Press‐Pack IGBT
This paper presents the performance of cryogenically compatible 3.3 kV/1.5 kA PP‐IGBTs as the main circuit breaker in a hybrid circuit breaker. The 3.3 kV/1.5 kA press‐pack IGBT can interrupt currents exceeding 5.1 kA when immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath. PP‐IGBTs are promising candidates for high‐power circuit breakers in cryogenically cooled power

Effect of MnO2${ ext{MnO}}_{2}$ doping on AC aging characteristics of varistor in arrester
As the core component of lightning arrester, the performance of ZnO varistor directly affects the protection level of lightning arrester. Under the action of long‐term AC voltage, the varistors are prone to AC aging, which leads to the deterioration of ...

A three-dimensional model of the varistor device is proposed. The thermal and electric conductivity of the material are taken to depend, in addition to the electric potential, on the temperature. Two theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions for the boundary-value problem which determine the potential and the temperature inside the device are ...

Ageing Behaviours and Mechanisms of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT in DC Solid‐State Circuit Breaker
We propose that this distributed thermal profile in IGBT mitigates localised stress. Conversely, the high concentration of thermal stress in SiC MOSFET's gate region leads to its severe ageing. ABSTRACT The rapid development of DC power systems in applications such as electric aircraft and microgrids has highlighted the need for high‐performance DC ...
